- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellany page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result of the debate was MfD is not the best place for this: the content is already deleted, and there will be no real consensus either way,a nd can prove to be more harmful than good in terms of heat. Jaranda did a good thing to nom it, but, the concurrent DRV is more appropriate. [[1]]. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 19:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense
This page was speedy deleted by Alkivar for promoting vandalism and copyvios, another admin overturned him, to avoid a wheel-war listing here. Delete the subpages as vandalism promoted
- Protect like Espernaza the main page is my vote. Jaranda wat's sup 19:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete. BJAODN goes back to before almost everyone had heard of Wikipedia, but consensus can change, and currently I see it as little more than a euphemism for "featured vandalism". Per the essay WP:DENY, the deleting admin had a very valid point. However, it can be considered part of Wikipedia's humour which provides relief for helping collaboration between editors, but that's kind of weak as an argument.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 19:09, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete subpages, tag main as historical per Jaranda per rampant nastiness, copyvios, promotion of vandalism, and non-GFDL-compliance. See also the 2 huge threads in June's Wikien-l mailing list archives (titled "Seriously, on BJAODN", and "BJAODN restored again"). --Quiddity 19:17, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Good lord, this is an institution... deleting this would be madness!! AND IT WON'T BE A COPYVIO, well not if you read people's thoughts on this! (hot damn... we want it!) --88.198.53.107 19:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- That isn't a reason for keeping
- Keep and stop being silly, dudes... this page ROCKS!!! --Gogdinber 19:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- That isn't a reason for keeping, and I protected this page to make sure trolls like the two above won't affect the voting Jaranda wat's sup 19:22, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
